LO-IV-132H [/Hippalus Hippalus] is the low crescent of flooded crater rim to the left of center in this view which extends to [/K%C3%B6nig König] on the right and to [/Campanus Campanus] / [/Mercator Mercator] at the bottom. The Roman numerals are the Hippalus rille numbers recognized by the [/IAU IAU] in the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters] and [/LAC LAC] maps. Rima Hippalus IV is very difficult to see with this lighting. For an Earth-based view at almost the same [/sun%20angle sun angle], remapped to the same scale and orientation, but showing an area slightly more to the right, see the image by Paolo Lazzarotti.

Description

This family of three prominent rilles is concentric to the [/Mare%20Humorum Humorum Basin] and formed by bending of the crust as the center of the basin subsided due to the weight of the Humorum lavas.

Rimae Hippalus

Additional Information

• Note the Two Arcs (or Eastern and Western Arcs) of, what seems to be (or seems to have been) a complete crater, between Hippalus and Campanus (at the southern part of Rimae Hippalus).
• This formation (the Two Arcs) is easily detectable on Chart 23 in the 21st Century Atlas of the Moon (Wood/ Collins); just to the right (east) of the name Hippalus Rilles (location F6). Also on Chart 80 in the Times Atlas of the Moon, Chart 53 in Antonin Rukl's Atlas of the Moon, and Chart 94 (LAC 94) in the Clementine Atlas of the Moon. - DannyCaes DannyCaes Jan 6, 2014
• The LPI's Hi-Res scan of Lunar Orbiter 4's frame 132-h1 shows the Two Arcs near the frame's lower left corner (between Rimae Hippalus II and III, southwest of the bowl-shaped crater Campanus A).- DannyCaes DannyCaes Jan 6, 2014
• There's a similar formation on the eastern part of the floor of Eddington (the incomplete crater Eddington P). - DannyCaes DannyCaes Aug 5, 2014

Nomenclature

• Named from nearby crater. ([/Hippalus Hippalus])
• The original IAU nomenclature of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] appears to have included the Roman-numbered Hippalus rilles I-III. Rima Hippalus IV seems to have been added in the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters]. The faint rille between the southern parts of Rima Hippalus I and II was designated Rima Hippalus V in [/NASA%20SP-241 NASA SP-241] (a non-IAU publication).
• In 1973 the IAU announced its intention of replacing the Roman numeral system for naming lunar [/rima rima] with new names, but no action appears to have been taken on this.
• Two Arcs (or Eastern and Western Arcs); nicknames for the incomplete crater between Hippalus and Campanus. - DannyCaes DannyCaes Aug 5, 2014
